Reports Report 821af (Event 821-2015)

Observer
Name Jason S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was unsure if this was a fireball or a firework as I observed a short-lived and short-traveled very green streak from a highly populated area and this was the first day of spring weather. But as others also observed something at the same time, I pretty confident I've now seen a fireball.
